This ‘Squid Game’ Character Is Worse Than Thanos, Fans Say
Squid Game has pushed the definition of “pure evil” to some new heights. Everybody hates this character. Can you guess who it is?
When it comes to memorable TV villains, Squid Game has given us plenty. Among them are The Frontman, Thanos, Nam-Gyu and Jang Deok-Su (just to name a few). And yet, none of them are even remotely as hated as Im Jeong-dae, also known as Player 100.

Im Jeong-dae personality traits: greedy, cold, insensitive, cruel.
Im Jeong-dae quickly became the most despised character in Squid Game history after his debut in Season 2. Unlike other villains who at least had some sort of tragic backstory or understandable motivation, this guy is just straight-up awful.

Who is Im Jeong-dae? He is likely a former businessman whose massive debt led him to the games, where he revealed his true colors in the most unsettling way possible.
Unlike the other contestants who struggle with morality, Im Jeong-dae seems to take pleasure in “eliminating” his fellow players. He even gets upset when people are still alive. And yes, he shows absolutely zero remorse for his actions.

Since the season hasn't premiered yet, we can only speculate. However, we hope that Jeong-dae finally gets what's coming to him in Season 3. After all, karma has a way of catching up with people, especially in shows like Squid Game.
Yes, but: we also sense that Player 100 could become worse. So we must prepare for major heartbreak caused by this character.
